Given a generic class definition BaseClass<T>, is it possible to test this condition?

if (myvar is BaseClass<>)

I would like to know if myvar derives from the generic class, but I do not know (or care) what T might be.

I assume the answer is no… my backup plan is to caveman this via myvar.GetType().ToString().Contains("BaseClass<"), or something.

    Like this:

    if (myVar.GetType().IsGenericType
     && myVar.GetType().GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(BaseClass<>))
